Michiel DN

Dear Peter, I would like to thank you for creating, maintaining, uploading, editing, researching, posting, answering to what has become a milestone board. Your kindness in helping others has been an example to me. I will miss my daily dose of LEMB. Thank very much, and as one could say: Hals und Beinbruch! Regards Michiel

I greatly welcome your initiative and hope the new Luftwaffe Research Group will become as good as LEMB was/is. Big task up ahead but we have no choice then to make it work. Regards Michiel

Fokkers didn't have inline v engine, these have. Point of tail gunner station isn't raised in a Fokker G1 so i think Fw189. For tail gunner remark see G1 here and Fw189 see here

Could it be that the name giving was part of the aviation radio/Morse letter codes? First name is the modern like a = Antonio etc, second is the nickname of the airplane Antonio angelito Hs123 Barcelona barcelao Do17 Francia Fumo Ju86 París pavo he45 pedro He111 Sábado superpava Hs126 Zaragoza zapatones He59
